GAUGE:

16 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on larger needles. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

With larger needles and B, cast on 30 (32) sts. Bind off all sts. Position trim in the shape of a heart on back of Mitten and sew in place.

FINISHING

Using tails, sew cuff, palm and thumb seams, taking care to close opening at base of thumb. Weave in ends.

Twisted Cord

Cut 2 strands of A, each 8 (9) yards [7.5 (8.5) meters] long; fold in half. Secure folded ends around door knob. Twist other end until taught and yarn begins to kink. Release end from door knob. Bring ends together and let cord twist on itself, smoothing to even the twist. Knot ends. Attach ends to inside cuff seam of each Mitten.
